Ring George Scott with your questions on Pollution and Overpopulation. Do these two related threats to our environment bear also the seeds of our future self-destruction? Tonight's guests:

John Maddux , editor of the scientific journal Nature, believes there is unnecessary alarm about them.

A look at the present plight and future shape of town and country: compiled and introduced by Nicholas Taylor

What's Wrong with Modern Architecture?
Some of the earliest examples of modern architecture have by now been classified as historic monuments, yet there is little sign of popular appreciation for them.
What is it about modern architecture that makes it so difficult to understand? Do most people suffer simply from a lack of visual education? Or is there a fundamental failing among architects to appreciate what people want buildings to do for them?
Speakers include: Peter Chamberlin, architect of the Barbican scheme; Denys Lasdun, architect of the National Theatre; Robert Maguire and Keith Murray, architects of student 'communes' at Surrey University.
